CthulhuTech – Damnation View

Time waits for no one. The Disciples of the Rapine Storm throw themselves with renewed fervor against the beleaguered troops holding the lines of the East. The New Earth Government desperately searches for a plan to drive the alien insects from their last bastion of safety. Deep within the dark places something ancient and primal stirs, ready to gift the world with its unspeakable presence once again. And somewhere, the children of the fish-god find lost things that were better left lost.

This is how the end begins. Welcome to 2086.

Discover new breakthroughs that might give humanity a much needed edge – but at what cost? Suffer a plague of street crime, eroding the places where people once felt safe. Watch in shock at the lengths the Nazzadi are willing to go to police their own kind. And quietly, something new is born within the darkest pits of the Chrysalis Corporation. Explore a year in the Strange Aeon or lose yourself in the lies and pretend it isn’t happening.

Nowhere else will you find a setting like this.

Inside this book you will find:

• a continuing detailed exploration of the Aeon War, detailing the important events of 2086 and everything that goes with them.

• seven pieces of provocative short fiction to help portray the feel of the setting, including a four-page comic.

• a look at pop culture in the Strange Aeon, to add more unique flavor to your game.

• an exploration of four smaller year-long plots that can be used in any game, with suggestions on how to weave them into your existing story.

• a detailed look at four major areas of the overarcing CthulhuTech storyline, including the war against the Disciples of the Rapine Storm in China, the continuing quest of the Esoteric Order of Dagon to find their lost city, the Eldritch Society’s investigation into the Chrysalis Corporation’s plans in the Pacific Northwest, and the Migou’s invasion of North America.

• ready-to-run stories for each major storyline that put your Characters front and center for the biggest action in the setting.

• the option to play as one of three powerful new professions within the secret New Earth Government agency known only as Special Services.

This book is meant to be used with the CthulhuTech storytelling game and requires the Core Book.

For Mature Audiences Only

This book is intended for mature readers. It contains dark and disturbing content and images. Reader discretion is advised.

Recently I was given the opportunity to review Damnation View, the first storybook for CthulhuTech. Some of you may remember that I reviewed the CthulhuTech core rulebook in October 2008. Alas I haven’t had the opportunity to actually play the game, [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
